Sir The case of Susannah Goodell widow of Amos Goodell for an increase of Pension, for his service in Capt. Glaves Company Greaton Regt. for 9 months from July 10 th 1779 to April 10 1780,
The evidence is the certificate of the Secretary of the State of Massachusetts, & the deposition of Nehemiah Stone & Adam Wheeler, William Jordan & Stephen Robbins, I think there is no mistake, or doubt of the service performed, by him,
Mrs Goodell always believed her husband was out 2 years & 9 months as he alledged before his death, the service alledged in Capt. Walker & Capt. Bird's Company, I have been unable to identify them with Amos Goodell of Shattuck Worcester Co. Massachusetts, but still I have no doubt he was the man, The Goodell Family came from Danvers, Middlesex Co. Mass,

to Chatham Worcester Co., before the Revolutionary War, & doubtless left. Friends & connections, there which might naturally have led him there, & to be with troops from that section, Your earliest convenient attention, is requested, Yours etc. etc. Simon Davis
